Storm and Emergency Fencing in Florida
Before a named storm the screen has to come down. After it, the first thing a damaged property needs is a perimeter. We keep fence in stock at our Palm City shop for both.

Before a named storm
A screened fence in high wind acts like a sail. The screen can tear off, or pull the fence down with it. That is why we strongly recommend taking the windscreen down whenever a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning is issued for your area. Here is how it works:
- Before the storm: remove the windscreen and store it somewhere secure. This is the renter's responsibility.
- After the storm: we can reinstall it as a paid service, priced per your rental agreement. Or you can rehang it yourself, using the same method we used to install it.
- Need us to handle it? Storm service is available on request for an additional fee, but crews book up fast when a storm is coming and we cannot guarantee availability. Call early.
After the storm
The first week after a hurricane, these are the calls:
- Perimeter around a damaged commercial building or condo so the restoration contractor can secure it.
- Fence around residential tear-downs on the barrier islands before the lots are cleared.
- Debris staging yards and contractor laydown areas on public and private land.
- Utility and infrastructure work zones that need to be secured in a hurry.
- Replacement of permanent fence that is gone, so a property is closed until it can be rebuilt.

Stock, routes and paperwork
We keep fence in stock at our Palm City shop for exactly this. After a storm we prioritize routes to the affected area, run full crew days there, and put in post-driven or panel fence depending on what the ground and the debris allow. Debris fields usually mean panels, because there is nothing clean to drive into.
We are a licensed Florida general contractor with insurance and COIs ready, which matters when the property owner's carrier or a public agency is paying.
Standing arrangements
Property managers, condo associations and restoration contractors who want fence on call for the next storm can set up a standing arrangement before June. We walk the sites and draw the gate plans ahead of time, so the call after the storm is only about picking a day.

In customers' words
We got quotes from three different fence companies. Unlike the others, Eric Lawrence came out personally and provided a thorough detailed estimate, for a very reasonable price. Soon after signing the contract, Amanda very efficiently obtained the permit, and Eric and his helper installed the fence in two days time.
“Eric and his crew were punctual, accurate and addressed all of my thoughts through the whole process. The old fence was removed and a new fence was installed in less than one week!”
“Great ownership, competitive pricing, and great work. Highly recommend!”
